The "left to spend" is about as much as my annual gross. Actually this is in US dollars so it's effectively 30% more than that.

Edit: Ah gently caress I'm an idiot. My annual gross is like 15 grand less than that lmao.
Don't mind me, just quoting an income over three times greater than the median US individual income to make a point about the everymans' plight.

Also one a little less than twice the average household income.

Is $26k really "a little less than twice the average US household income"?

26k happens to be what i make before taxes. of course taxes are actually the least of what i have taken out, the most being insurance and some retirement fund that won't exist when i'm old lol

i get paid $1400/month after all that and most of it is sucked up by student loans, car payment, medical bills, credit card bills, utilities, food, gas, etc. i have $1500 to my name total saved up

100k is a little less than twice the average US household income of 58k. But I could see how that might be confusing, since the tweet's quoted "left over" income is actually higher than the median household income as well.

I'm the idiot of social media because I didn't notice he said both "median" and "average" with regards to the 100k value. I thought he was referring to the 100k figure first, followed by what I said about mine, and comparing them to the average.

Still to early to be posting right now I think.

What he's saying makes sense, he's just terrible at communicating. (Judging by the rest of his timeline, he's one of those "well I know what I said" guys.)

Here's the context that helped me work it out:

https://twitter.com/markallanbovair/status/1027191866876456960

So in his view, this person with the $100,000 income isn't saving enough (the Roth IRA and 401(k) contributions only add up to 24%), and still only has ~$4,000 a month for living expenses like rent/mortgage, food, car payments, etc., which isn't a lot of money to someone living in a large city. He's trying to get across that people living in Manhattan, San Francisco, etc. will find it hard to save as much as he thinks they should, because they'll have to lower their 401(k) and IRA investments just in order to put food on the table.

Side note: he markets himself as a "personal finance coach" but that 25% tweet is literally the only concrete financial advice I've seen him give, and he seems to have forgotten that he posted this two days ago:

Help I have a six figure salary and I don't know how to feed my family! If only some noble hero would perhaps grant me some tax cuts I would be able to fully stock the fridge in the boat house. Alas! Mine is the plight of the everyman, destined to toil away in a corner office for 3 hours a day in between relentless tee times all while harboring a growing suspicion that my wife is having relations with my gardener. Woe betides me (but not as much as woe betide that gardener once I call ICE).

Jesus gently caress. I just got my first 6 figure job this year and this pisses me off.....

1) How do you have this salary if you have zero student loan debt? (answer: you went to college in the 60s when you were able to pay that poo poo out of pocket working part time because school didn't require taking out a mortage on your education yet)

2) You're investing the absolute max into your 401k, and that's more than a lot of people I know even make in a year.

3) gently caress you.

I have utterly insane student loan payments, over 2k/month. I still have all these other bills, and what I have leftover is loving plenty to live rather comfortably and never have to worry about money.

I've served my time as worse than broke, nearly getting evicted for missing rent and poo poo, having power turned off, etc., so I have enough perspective to know how insanely lucky I am.
